This was one of the most important weeks ever in the almost 150 year history of the Kansas City School District.

The unaccredited district is fighting for its very survival and that battle got tougher this week when a consultant group, hired by the state, released a much anticipated and controversial plan. The consultant group called CEE-Trust says the district has failed and wants the state to create something it calls a Community Schools Office to replace the district, but it would have little to do with education. Every building would be run by a nonprofit, a charter school or a neighboring district. Also, all educational, hiring and budgetary decisions would be made at the building level.
